Introducing myself

[Slowbrew]

Hello to everyone,
I just would like to introduce myself. I live in Scotland and I’m 56 years old and have just started getting into the home brew hobby. I have a larger kit which was given to me some years ago but have just started fermenting it. I did have to get some fresh yeast for it and it’s currently almost completely secondary fermentation. I’m hoping to get it bottled up soon after cold crashing it. A quick question. Does anyone know wher I can get starsan in the uk?

looking forward to sharing my experiences here and learning from you all.
Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy

I got some from here a couple of months ago they look out of stock at the moment though but might be worth asking them.

Chemsan is a UK equivalent and is available lots of places:

Welcome as well, great place this forum and a lot of friendly people with lots of experience that has been really useful to me starting out again too.
At least in Scotland at this time of year, conditioning the lager is fairly straightforward given how friggin freezing it is!

Thanks brewers for the warm welcome. I did see Chemsan, is it as good?

Easyclean seems quite reasonably priced to. Anyone got any preferences between that and chemsan?

Welcome. I'm in Scotland too. Can't help you with the Starsan. I've always used sodium percarbonate. Enjoy your beer!
